Co-director Toby Maykuth said one of the highlights of the show is the music. “Songs from the original Broadway musical and movie musical are combined to create the show that audiences will love,” he said.

Ringgold High School will present “Bye Bye Birdie” 7 p.m. March 1 and 2, and 2 p.m. March 3 at their high school auditorium.
The cast of Belle Vernon Area High School’s spring musical will do their best to bring audiences a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious performance of “Disney’s Mary Poppins” next month. “It’s time to fly!” according to director Michael Rozell. “I chose the show because I realized I have the right group of students to perform it,” Rozell said. “In the past, we’ve tackled difficult staging, high spirited dancing, but I’ve never done a show with flying.” Those in attendance will recognize familiar tunes like “A Spoonful of Sugar” and “Chim Chim Cher-ee” from fan favorites Mary Poppins (Allegra Ochs) and Bert (Gabriel Reed). “The show will feature amazing choreography, beautiful sets and, of course, lots of flying around on stage,” Rozell added. Audiences will also meet the precocious Jane (Avery Ochs and Emma Bellissimo) and Michael (Jack Moffitt), along with Mr. and Mrs. Banks (Thomas Huffman and Gianna Lorenzo accordingly). They’ll be joined by Baylee Martin as the Dance Captain. “Belle Vernon Area High School has become known for its high quality productions,” Rozell said. “This show will not
disappoint. We’re already working hard on the choreography and set building. This will be a production people will stand in line to see!”
BROWNSVILLE AREA HIGH SCHOOL
“Footloose” When: 7 p.m. March 8, 9 and 10; 2 p.m. March 11 Where: Auditorium Admission: $10 all seats Tickets: Call high school office at 724-7858200 or email trohlf@basd.org Join the cast of Brownsville Area High School’s spring musical as they take you to the small town of Bomont where dancing is one of many things outlawed. In “Footloose,” audiences will follow the rebellious moves of newcomer Ren McCormack (Jalill Winston) and his chemistry with Ariel Moore (Jayda Jones), daughter the stern Reverend Shaw Moore (Andrew Havens). Join Ariel and Ren’s friends Rusty (Delaney Harvey) and Willard (Jacob Sproul) as they shake the traditions of the small town with hits like “Footloose,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy” and “Almost Paradise.” “The students have been asking to do Footloose for several years,” said director
Tricia Rohlf. “This year seemed to be the perfect year. We have a young and enthusiastic cast who want to ‘kick off their Sunday shows’ and dance all night.” Rohlf added that a highlight of the show is Jalil Winson’s dancing and his chemistry with Jayda Jones’s character. “Our two comedic leads, Delaney Harvey and Jake Sproul are exceptional once again,” she added. “This is their second year playing opposite each other. Last year we saw them as Gabriella and Troy in ‘High School Musical.’ It is such fun to watch them bring out their comedic side.”

A Madcap Musical Comedy Tribute to the 1920s” When: 7 p.m. March 2 and 3; 2 p.m. March 4 Where: Auditorium Admission: $14 for the first five rows, $12 for the rest of the auditorium Tickets: Noon to 5 p.m. in the auditorium lobby; 5:30-7:30 p.m. Feb. 26-March 1 in the auditorium lobby; at the door.

After researching numerous shows all summer, we decided that this would be the year to tackle a show of this magnitude,” she said. “‘Mary Poppins’ is a show known to a wide variety of age ranges.

State’s Classic Film series selection thrills with Hitchcock classic
By Olivia Goudy
O
ogoudy@heraldstandard.com
ne of Alfred Hitchcock’s thrilling masterpieces will be on the big screen in Uniontown next month. “North by Northwest” will be the March selection for The State Theatre Center for Art’s Classic Film Series showing at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. March 9. Hitchcock enlisted the help of Cary Grant, James Mason and Eva Marie Saint to tell the story of mistaken identity, national security, adventure and survival. Audiences meet Roger O. Thornhill (Grant, “Charade” and “To Catch a Thief”), an advertising executives from New York. It’s not long before he’s swept up in a fateful journey when he’s thought to be someone else — George Kaplan — and interrogated by a mystery man (James Mason, “Lolita” and “The Verdict”). Roger’s captors attempt to break him, to get any information they can out of the unsuspecting man, but what he doesn’t know may be his downfall. When Roger finally thinks he’s found an ally in Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint, “On the Waterfront” and “Superman Returns”), his world is thrown into more chaos when it’s found she may be involved with the mystery man, named at the end of the film. Roger also encounters Clara Thornhill (Jessie Royce Landis, “Airport” and “The Swan”), The Professor (Leo G. Carroll, “Spellbound” and “The Man from U.N.C.L.E”), Lester Townsend (Philip Ober, “From Here to Eternity” and “Broken Lance”), Leonard (Martin Landau, “Ed Wood” and “Tucker: The Man and His Dream”), Valerian (Adam Williams, “The Big Heat” and “Darby’s Rangers”), Victor Larrabee (Edward Platt, “Rebel Without a Cause” and “Get Smart”) and Licht (Robert Ellenstein, “The
Tingler” and “Inherit the Wind”) along the way. Next year, the Hitchcock classic will reach its 60th premier anniversary. To this day, though, it’s still noted as a must-see. “North by Northwest” holds a steady 100 percent fresh rating from critics and audiences from the media review website, RottenTomatoes.com, while members of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) have given it 8.4 out of 10 stars. In Jack Moffitt’s original review in The Hollywood Reporter, he wrote that while the story itself isn’t real, “Hitchcock makes it seem real.” “Of course, Hitchcock doesn’t achieve this triumph entirely by himself. Cary Grant, as a glib Madison Avenue huckster, mistaken for a Central Intelligence agent by a group of Iron Curtain spies, is simply great,” Moffitt wrote nearly 60 years ago. “He delivers a marvelous series of close-ups when the heavies, after forcing a bottle of bourbon down his throat, place him in a Mercedes convertible and head him for a cliff. Struggling with double vision and drunkenness — with eyes now bugged out with horror and now drooping and glazed, he gets a laugh and a shriek out of every grimace.” Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for seniors, students or children. The film is not rated. “North by Northwest” is part of the classic film series that is supported by the Herald-Standard Be Local program and sponsored by 84 Lumber, Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Spa and the Hardy and Magerko families, along with the State Theatre, to create an event around each of the two viewings of the monthly movie.
Coming soon
The 2017-2018 Classic Film Series will also include: “The Alamo” (April 13, 2018), “The Goonies” (May 18, 2018) and “The is Spinal Tap” (June 15, 2018).

musicreview Brian Fallon — ‘Sleepwalkers’
W
hen you blend the skillful knack that Butch Walker has for crafting a lyric, Frank Turner’s fiery singing passion that stays with you long after the song is over and the way Brandon Flowers stylishly offers up his heart with such a sophisticated grace, you get Brian Fallon. The Gaslight Anthem frontman’s second solo effort is a striking assortment of infectious pop and stark rock with
Clint Rhodes threads of R&B neatly linking together a dozen intoxicating tracks
exposing the uncertainly of life, the complexity of love and everything else that happens in between as we wander from experience to experience, battling the shadows and our own doubts and regrets. “If Your Prayers Don’t Get to Heaven” opens with a catchy Motown vibe that soulfully relays the need for a change with Fallon declaring, “But you gotta burn that sound of the voices out that wanna bring you to your knees/And you gotta run so far they’ll
never find you again.” “Forget Me Not” is a rousing rocker that punches out a clamorous vibe as the Garden State native yearns to once again feel the little things that truly make a difference when he sings, “Stacy, I never thought I’d miss the small talk/I never knew the gift the day was/I just used to hear the time clock.” “Etta James” is a wondrous slow burn that sounds like something Bob Dylan would have penned with its
elements of pain, regret, redemption and reconciliation. Reflections of a fragile relationship are recalled on tracks like “Proof of Life“ and “Neptune,” while “Come Wander with Me” and “Little Nightmares” demonstrate the struggle and determination of searching for something just a little better. “See You on the Other Side” is the acoustic closer that serves as a moving declaration of a love and commitment that lasts beyond our
go!
earthly days with Fallon tenderly confessing, “And when we both grow old/And there’s nothing left to say/I want you to know/That I loved you all my days/ And when we close our eyes on this lifetime/I’ll see you on the other side.” With “Sleepwalkers,” Fallon has successfully delivered one of the best albums of the new year. Clint Rhodes is the Herald-Standard music reviewer. He can be reached at clinton43@ me.com.

review website, RottenTomatoes.com, 98 percent of users want to see “Annihilation.” Adam Chitwood wrote for Collider that the trailer clued audiences in as to why Portman’s former solider character goes into Area X — a “mysterious and growing path of land in the United States that seems to fundamentally alter everything in its path” — to find out what happened to her husband. “Garland has shown time and again a knack for engaging and smart stories as the writer of films like ‘The Beach,’ ‘28 Days Later,’ and ‘Dredd,’ and ‘Annihilation’ is a perfect fit for his sensibilitie,” he wrote. “VanderMeer’s book is genuinely
horrifying and unsettling in surprising ways, and it looks as though Garland has captured that terrifically.” “What ‘Annihilation’ promises is a wholly unique sci-fi story without easy answers, but one that will rattle you to your core,” he continued. “The cast is terrific (many actresses went out of their way to try and nab a role in this movie), and I can’t wait to see the full film when it hits theaters later this month.” The film is rated R for violence, bloody images, language and some sexuality. Other movies that are arriving in theaters this weekend include: n “Game Night” featuring
Jesse Plemons, Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman and Chelsea Peretti, directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, is about a group of friends who solve a murder. The film is rated R. n “The Lodgers” featuring Charlotte Vega, David Bradley, Moe Dunford and Eugene Simon, directed by Brian O’Malley, is about a sinister presence in rural Ireland. The film is rated R. n “Beast of Burden” directed by Jesper Ganslandt, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Grace Gummer, Pablo Schreiber and Robert Wisdom, follows a man given an hour to do the impossible. The film is rated R.
onvideo Drama explores childhood fantasy By Olivia Goudy
F
ogoudy@heraldstandard.com
or a look at modern American through the eyes of a vibrant 6-yearold, check out the movie new to DVD and Blu-ray this weekend. “The Florida Project,” directed by Sean Baker (“Tangerine” and “Starlet”), is a drama that explores the oblivious childhood of Moonee (Brooklynn Prince, “Monsters at Large” and “Robo-Dog: Airborne”). Though there are thrills of a new journey and moments of childhood awe, there’s an underlying tone of dealing with hard times. Audiences follow Moonee, Scooty (Christopher Rivera,
“The Florida Project”), Dicky (Aiden Malik, “The Florida Project” and “Secrets and Lies”), Jancey (Valeria Cotto, “The Florida Project”), Halley (Bria Vinaite, “The Beach Bum” and “The Florida Project”) and Bobby (Willem Dafoe, “Spider-Man” and “Shadow of the Vampire”) through the shadows of Disney World in the sunny state of Florida. “The Florida Project” received an 96 percent and 78 percent fresh rating from critics and audiences, respectively, from the media review website, RottenTomatoes. com, while members of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) gave it 7.8 out of 10 stars. Colin Covert wrote in a movie review for Star
Tribune that the “little stars, little details” made for a successful, high-impact film. “’The Florida Project’ is fiction with the feel of a fine documentary. It’s about life near the bottom rung of American society with all its innocence and corruption, told with the aura of sharp-eyed cinema verite,” he wrote. “It doesn’t just show what its characters go through, it observes. It notices. It studies. This is a film that pays attention to the little details that communicate huge feelings.” In a review for San Diego Readers, Matthew Lickona also applauded the overall film and young Prince’s performance. “There are moments of
clumsy drama and exaggerated quirk, and a certain amount of acceptance is required to watch little kids go feral without arousing suspicion,” Lickona wrote. “But Baker loves his characters and he knows his business. Halley’s mounting desperation, full of mercurial shifts from ingratiating minx to clawing hellcat, is as sympathetic as the mounting frustration of those around her. And his frantic depiction of Moonee’s final fantasy verges on both brilliance and heartbreak.” The film is rated R for language throughout, disturbing behaviour, sexual references and some drug material. Other films that arrived on Blu-ray and DVD this week
include: n “Daddy’s Home 2” starring Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson, directed by Sean Anders, is about two competing fathers, and their own intrusive fathers. The film is rated PG-13. n “The Star” featuring the voices of Steven Yeun, Keegan-Michael Key and Aidy Bryant, directed by Timothy Reckart, is about a donkey on the first Christmas. The film is rated PG. n “Same Kind of Different as Me” directed by Michael Carney, starring Renee Zellweger, Jon Voight and Greg Kinnear is about an art dealer, a homeless man and a woman’s dreams. The film is rated PG-13.
